Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration.
  • The submission is original work and does not infringe on any third party’s copyright.
  • You have obtained permission for any third party material that is used in the submission.
  • The author(s) submitting the work is/are the actual author(s) of the work, not a third party.
  • You are aware that the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International license applies to all works published by Evidence Based Library and Information Practice and that authors will retain copyright of their work.
  • The submission file is in Microsoft Word document file format. Papers will be published in PDF and HTML formats.
  • The text, if submitted to a peer-reviewed section, has been anonymized. Authors' names have been removed from the text and file name as well as from the document's Properties, which in Microsoft Word is found in the File menu. Any other identifying information, such as institution name, unit, organization, or event has been removed or replaced in the manuscript.

  • Submissions adhere to the EBLIP Publication Manual and references follow APA style guidelines.
  • The text is single-spaced; does not use columns; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and is free of embedded field codes and fully editable. All illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • All URL addresses in the text are activated and ready to click (e.g., http://pkp.sfu.ca).

Privacy Statement

The data collected from registered and non-registered users of this journal falls within the scope of the standard functioning of peer-reviewed journals. It includes information that makes communication possible for the editorial process; it is used to inform readers about the authorship and editing of content; and it enables collecting aggregated data on readership behaviours, as well as tracking geopolitical and social elements of scholarly communication.

This journal’s editorial team and its hosting service, the University of Alberta Libraries, use this data to guide their work in publishing and improving this journal. Data that will assist in developing this publishing platform may be shared with its developer Public Knowledge Project in an anonymized and aggregated form, with appropriate exceptions such as article metrics. The data will not be sold by this journal, the University of Alberta Libraries, or PKP nor will it be used for purposes other than those stated here. The authors published in this journal are responsible for the human subject data included in the research reported here.

Those involved in editing this journal seek to be compliant with industry standards for data privacy, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provision for “data subject rights” that include (a) breach notification; (b) right of access; (c) the right to be forgotten; (d) data portability; and (e) privacy by design. The GDPR also allows for the recognition of “the public interest in the availability of the data,” which has a particular saliency for those involved in maintaining, with the greatest integrity possible, the public record of scholarly publishing.
